Cape Town, South Africa, is set to become the pulsating hub of the gaming industry as SiGMA, the renowned global iGaming summit, announces its second event for the African continent. Scheduled to take place from the 11th to the 13th of March 2024, this three-day extravaganza promises to be a groundbreaking summit held at the Sun Exhibits Integrated Resort at GrandWest, conveniently located just a stone’s throw away from the cosmopolitan heart of Cape Town.
Following the resounding success of its inaugural launch in Kenya at the start of 2023, SiGMA is set to further solidify its presence in Africa with this second edition. The choice of South Africa as the venue is strategic, given the nation’s rapidly expanding market and the recent introduction of a remote gambling bill that is poised to unlock new opportunities within the sector.
The event’s core is the conference agenda, which brings together industry experts, thought leaders, and policymakers to discuss the transformative developments reshaping the regulatory landscape of the gaming industry. With South Africa on the brink of a new era in remote gambling, these discussions are crucial in navigating the uncharted waters of this burgeoning market.
A notable highlight of the summit is the pitch competition, an arena that propels innovative startups into the limelight, connecting them with leading investors and venture capitalists. This platform not only fosters the growth of promising ideas but also serves as a catalyst for the evolution of the gaming industry.
Beyond the business-focused aspects, SiGMA seamlessly combines work and play by offering ample opportunities for attendees to forge invaluable connections. Engaging with influential figures, from high-ranking government officials to influencers and policymakers, attendees can explore cutting-edge products showcased on a carefully curated expo floor and establish partnerships with prominent investors, startups, and affiliates.
The networking activities are designed to immerse participants in Cape Town’s natural beauty, with cultural tours kicking off the event on the 11th. An evening lineup of VIP dinners and a gala awards evening adds a touch of glamour to the three-day affair. Notably, nominations for the prestigious SiGMA Awards open in February 2024, further adding to the event’s anticipation.
For those looking to seize the opportunity early, SiGMA has released early bird tickets, providing access to great deals. Affiliates, crucial players in the industry, can register for free, ensuring that the event remains inclusive and fosters a diverse representation of the gaming community.
One key aspect that sets SiGMA apart is its commitment to inclusivity. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the gaming industry, the summit offers a platform for all to stand out from the crowd. The event encourages the exploration of additional opportunities as a speaker, exhibitor, or sponsor.
